On this excerpt from the latest Living Myth Premium episode, Michael Meade answers questions about the soul posed by listeners. One question is "what is the meaning of the original agreement of the soul?" Another is "why is this first agreement so important that it is indelible in the soul?" Using ancient stories about the origin of the soul, Meade offers a compelling commentary on the soul's way of bridging the two worlds, the eternal and the time bound. Rather than being separated from the divine by an "original sin", old stories depict the separation as an original forgetting of the unique pattern in each soul. The rest of life involves a longing to reconnect to the eternal and live out the soul's first agreement and original intention in life. This excerpt is from the first of a two-part Living Myth Premium podcast series on the two agreements of the soul.
